MarcoPolo World School

This is one of those learning apps that when I started using it before I did not like it and did not have the patience for it but now that I’ve started using it again now that I’m older I’ve noticed I have more patience for it and actually enjoy it a lot more than when I was younger. My favorite thing is the games. I also like the section on inventions. I think it would be cool if you guys did some read aloud story books on topics as well or interactive books that have games because I think that would be really cool. I mean games based on the topic. To me it doesn’t matter that the games that come after the videos aren’t exactly based on the topic, but it still is pretty awesome. What I mean by books I think you guys should add a library inside the school. That would be really neat. Overall I love this app because it explains things in a way that I understand as a blind and autistic user and I love how good the narration is on these videos.

We love this app. I think it has great information and it is engaging and fun. My issue is that I think the fart, burp, and toilet sounds are a little overdone. I have just been listening to my child play this and I can’t believe that I’m hearing a fart sound throughout the educational videos multiple times throughout each video. I am one who typically has no problems with this, and so if I’m having an issue with it, then that’s kind of a big deal. They are too frequent and pretty distracting. Maybe it’s to help keep the kids engaged in a subject by making it sound like an extremely flatulent classroom? I don’t know, I think it should be taken down a notch or ten… other than that, it’s a very cute app with a lot of fun information.
